Running in circles

I'm screaming in the darkness

Alone and no one cares 

No one hears 

I'm facing the monster in the mirror 

Behind smoke and glass 

Illusions haunt my eyes

Making me wonder

What is real and what is not

What is here and what is gone 

The monster in the mirror 

Masters my every move

Disguising itself among the living

Sometimes it's the monster people see

Sometimes it's the victim

I'm the victim 

Running in endless circles 

Trying to escape the impossible 

I run so far never getting anyway 

The past always catches up

No matter how far you run

All you have to do is look in the mirror

And you will see your monster

To My Lost Sister

Well done my friend

You write enchantingly

You've hit what once was

The deepest part of me

Your words flow

Like a strong running stream

Flooding emotions

Like waking from a dream

We all have heard:

I'm my worst enemy

But until I saw my self

It didn't get through to me

Yet realizing the problem

Begins the solution

Continue to climb

Or fall to volution

Our choices are ours

And we become

What our choices have made us

And our souls blossom.

Your friend,
